Welcome!
This is a safe place to discuss, vent, and share information about bipolar disorder. It is also a place for peer support and comfort.
Please use empathy and common sense when posting and commenting. We are all in this together, let’s stay kind and civil.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
- If you are having thoughts of suicide, please call a friend, family member, 988 in the US, or find transportation to your closest emergency room (call 911 in the US).
- Please be sensitive when discussing suicide and self-harm. Posts threatening suicide are subject to immediate removal.
- Posts containing medical advice or diagnosing others are not allowed. If you are posting about traditional or alternative treatment methods, please keep the post focused on your personal experience.
- We do not allow promotion, solicitation, or affiliate links. For interviews, surveys, and studies, please contact the moderators.
- Harassment of any kind is not tolerated. Do not harass any user for any reason including treatment plan/medication adherence, race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, etc.
- You may post bipolar memes and jokes as well as serious content. This rule may change later at the community’s discretion.

Wow, I'm sorry. I would also like to know when you're supposed to hear back, if you feel like sharing. I feel like there's no wrong way to react to news like this, so whatever you are feeling and thinking makes sense.
Well. It wasn't good news. Stage 1 pancreatic cancer. I've decided to do treatment mainly for others than for me. I feel like this is a dream I'm gonna wake up from, but yeah...
I am so very sorry. I hope the treatment helps since you are choosing to do it even though it’s for others. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through right now, and I very sincerely want to give you a big hug.
